Hidden Ball Is Ruled OutbyLeagueOl'fieials League Directors In Special Meeting Here On Saturday (damnification Kulo Miiile To Harmonize Willi Thome of !\alionul AMiH'ialioii ? "It's just too 'niggerish' to allow/' Joe Exum, president of the Snow Hill Baseball Club, said last Satur day morning in making a motion at a special meeting of league directors here to rule out the... "hidden halt u The motion was seconded by Hubert Landaurer. Kinston Club president, and was passed seven to one. John Young blood, representative of the Tarboro club, voting for retention of the sleight of hand methods. Tar boro pulled the trick twice on Wil liamston. but there are at least two other suckers in the circuit, reports stating that it has been worked four times. The meeting, held in the office of the league president, R. H. Goodmon, was a harmonious one. League play er classification rulings were alter ed to conform to those of the Nation al Association. Greenville loses a player. Maurice Wilson or one of three other veterans, as a result of the change. Under the Coastal Plain rules, Wilson was not a veteran, hut under the National Association rules he was and out he goes. No protests were allowed, but Greenville was ad vised to alter its line-up to conform with the National Association rules. Mix-ups in the time for starting games were eliminated when the di rectors ruled to start all night games at 8 o'clock; afternoon games on week-days ai "4 except when two games are scheduled and then the afternoon game is to start at 3. Sun day afternoon games are to start at 3 o'clock. League President Goodmon warn ed the club heads to use every pre caution to prevent attacks m urn pires, and advised that the men in blue are not to be furnished trans portation other than on the club hiisses ? ?? The directors are planning to di vide the profits from the all star game this vi?ar :.od attend the ,nmi;d meeting of professional baseball clubs in Atlanta next December Guy Smith, president of the Green ville club, urged the meeting to ad here to the player.-salary schedule and help save baseball for the Coast al Plain section. The various club presidents pledged their coopei a hull. impkomv; Bert sutler, hustling young shortstop who was injured in the tame in Goldsboro on Tuesday. May 7. has been released frimi the Goldsboro hospital and re turned here. The Martin shortstop, hit on the temple by a pitched ball, was reported by hospital physicians to be out of danger, hut that he would be unable to return to the line-up for two weeks. Frank Ko/ak. hefty leftfielder. had his left foot lanced yester M the and it was reported that he would be unahle to return to action for a week or more. Ko/ak had been suffering with the infection ever since he came here this spring, hut during the past week the foot became worse. Umpire Cibulka Has I nusual Experience An umpire who can he eight : months late reporting for duty and still hold his job must have some- j thing in his knapsack That's what happened to Joe Cibulka. who is making his Coastal Plain debut this year. While serving as chief of staff in | the Bi-State loop in 1936 Cibulka and his partner, Joe Bell, were as ! signed to w ork a game in ReidsviUe Ion August 26 They did not fill the engagement until April 22, 1937. It 1 all came about this way: The. two arbiters were enroute to ReidsviUe for their date when they I had an auto smash-up near Martins I vi lie. They never got to the game, t)uT w ere hurried To the hospital in stead. Bell was laid up for some time and while Cibulka was discharged * from the hospital after several days, lie was unable to work any more that season. Quite by coincidence, the league president assigned Cibulka and Bell | to work the opening game of the j 1937 season in ReidsviUe. Eight j months after they had been assigned i there in August. 1930, the pair re I ported for duty and went through I with their jobs Cibulka was chief of staff in the Bi-State for three years and enjoy ' thr section: President Frank Law ; ?I'me,"nf "the rurtsmouth Cubs, rah across him in some spring exhibition games and thought so well of his work lie got him a promotion to the U'uiiiuHmt- circuit Joe called them in the cigaret loop for two years. Illness caused him to lose some time, but apparently he has fully recovered and working his way back up m the Coastal Plain. Cibulka comes out of Chicago and enjoys what little commendation an umpire usually gets.
